I am not talking about the "country flag", but the "picture" for which you can select anything you (or the net) has to offer.I find that odd as the Ukrainian flag was offered by the forum as an avatar.
My bad about the forum offering it as an avatar. I didn't read the post till just now. Sorry moderators.I am not talking about the "country flag", but the "picture" for which you can select anything you (or the net) has to offer.

I'm here every day and post as needed, it would be a great loss if it ever went away, Vic.well, from my vantage point, I see very few new postings here, very rare to see new subjects talked about so with that said, is this forum dead in the water? What can be done to try and improve this forum for better participation?
Yep. These things happen.I check in semi-daily, but don't post an awful lot since I joined on this account (lurked on other accounts for years). I search the rules forum occasionally, and pester Doug Rimmer with messages.
The ASL community is just too spread out and siloed across a bunch of different communities. I can't keep up on all of them (except consimworld, it's unusable ), and most people can't, so they probably just pick one community and stick with it for the most part.
I have experience moderating very large forums, and in my experience the stratification of communities happens when various groups find places where they feel like they fit in with the tone and level of moderation. With regards to political discussion, I never partake in it myself, but it's almost impossible to keep people from doing it these days. And when you try you just alienate and piss them off, so they find somewhere else. /shrug
Fair question. Data is always good. FWIW, as a long-time member who visits almost daily, the number of threads and posts have diminished noticeably. I first saw a decline starting a couple years back in the form of fewer threads, a number of "regulars" posting less frequently (or have left GS entirely), additional ASL sites, etc.I'm surprised by both the initial premise and also the lack of it's being questioned regarding the site traffic. I've been a member since mid 2015 and don't see any significant difference in the volume of postings since then. Is the reference relating to a comparison between now and sometime before that? 'cuz going back over 7 years seems like a lot of digging. (I'm only addressing the ASL part of GS - I really don't pay any attention to the other forums, perhaps the initial comment was accurate about those?)
....don't go there....you know that no good will come of it....Every once in a while, we have someone popping up (often Scott) asking :
"Is ASL dead?"
"Is wargaming dead?"
"Is this dead?"
"Is my arm dead?"
